New:

Bunker silo vehicle manager for the purpose of detecting vehicles in silos:

• only applies to vehicles that unload in the same silo (distributed unloading, destinations in one folder)
• the detection distance can be adjusted in the global settings
• has no influence on CoursePlay silo compressors

Extension waypoint creation by mouse click:

• already available: a 2-way route is created with LCTRL + LALT and then LMB
• new: with LCTRL + LShift and then LMB you can create branch lines

Debugging of waypoints outside the map (in single player!):

• bring a vehicle close to the waypoints
• activate editor mode and then activate route network debugging
• if developer debugging is then activated, the waypoints are moved towards the vehicle

Note: only works for waypoints that are outside the map.
E.g. standard map size 1,024 x 1,024: the coordinates of the waypoints must be greater than 1,024 or less than -1,024.

• improvements in path finding/calculation on the field

New:

UniversalAutoLoad (UAL):

• Fruit/goods selection is not available in the AD-HUD pull-down list
• charge and discharge fill level in % are not really determinable, because different sizes of charge objects lead to an unpredictable number of objects which can be charged (95/99/100% to charge completely, 0/10% to charge a little bit)
• a full trailer is detected by UAL only if no other object in the loading area can be loaded onto the trailer
• in the loading/unloading area both curtains will be open/closed (e.g. Krone Profi Liner)
• does not work with trains (manual loading/unloading required)
• requires at least UAL 1.3.1.16

Multiselect of fruits/goods:

• multiple selection = hold CTRL + left click on desired list entries
• delete entry from multiple selection = hold CTRL + left click on list entry to be deleted
• deselection = left click on any unselected/not marked list entry
• select all = hold ALT + left click on any list entry
• deselect all = hold ALT + left click on any list entry
• the icon in front of the list selection shows the status and you can change it by left-clicking (only when multiselect is active):

single fruit (white): only one fruit is selected
one small and one large fruit (blue): several fruits are selected and the fruit that is most present, e.g. in a silo, is always selected first
3 large fruits (blue): several fruits are selected and the fruits are rotated during each loading process

Release 2.0.1.0

All Release Notes can also be found on the wiki:

https://github.com/Stephan-S/FS22_AutoDrive/wiki

Bugfixes and improvements:

• the HUD status (open/closed) is not saved #765
• experimental feature "Fold implements" was not saved #829 #837
• user settings were only partially stored on servers
• after game start vehicles could not leave fields directly when AD is started #793

• avoid start driving if the trailer is empty but not completely folded
• curtains/cover are now also closed before departure
• fixed problem with loader wagon, which could not unload under certain circumstances #764
• on a tractor with field sprayer and additional tank were not both filled #781
• improvement regarding reversing when loading/unloading:

AD no longer moves backwards until the destination point is reached, if loading/unloading was possible beforehand, but continues with the next task
if the loading/unloading destination is the parking position, no attempt is made to approach it again

• improvement regarding water loading, if the vehicle itself and a trailer can load water
• improvement regarding the detection of bunker silos
• front collision detection is deactivated in drive-through silos, as the bulk material also has a colli #725
• in case of distributed unloading, the counter is reduced with each loading operation

• improvement regarding the unloader for threshers and harvesters on uneven fields (hill/slope fields)
• optimization regarding the sticking of a unloader on certain slopes
• rework of the collision calculation regarding the new LS22 collision bits #772
• when recording a branch line, a reverse line could not be recorded directly #790
• mods with incorrect ai entries lead to errors #828

New:

• AD checks itself for the correct file name "FS22_AutoDrive.zip":

if the ZIP file does not have the correct name, a warning message appears

• Traffic lights with collision (AI_Blocking) are detected #780
• detection of wood unloading triggers added (but cannot yet be used for unloading)
• bale wagon are unloading at destination point:

the vanilla bale wagon now unload at the destination point, a trigger is no longer necessary
it is stopped at the destination point, the unloading is started, waited min. 20 seconds, driven 4m forward, folded and only then driven further
MP/Dedi: due to synchro problems from Giants, bale wagon may not get down the loading area after finishing unloading process (without colli)

experimental switch "Record While Not In Vehicle" allows leaving the vehicle during recording (possible scenario is e.g. field edge recording with CP)
will not be saved to prevent unintentional recording

• AD can handle trains
• extended usage of TrafficDetection with FS22 or FS19 collision (new collisions bits)

• debug marker 9_ shows possible errors, but may actually be none
• CP can hand over the stone collector to AD (pickup&delivery) #421
• separation of map and user settings (different files in the savegame folder) #524
• improvement collision boxes (new vehicle measurement) #536

In FS22, vehicles are mostly defined larger (in XML) than they actually are.
With AD, this leads to vehicles on roads with a small (lateral) distance being recognized as a collision even though there would still be sufficient space between them.
To avoid this, the collision to the front, rear, left and right is determined for all parts belonging to the vehicle.
For this purpose, all attachments of the complete combination are measured when entering a vehicle, starting AD or after being folded by AD (mixtures of unmeasured and measured vehicles are normal and not a fault).
Only vehicles, trailers and attachments that do not have parts with rotation around the vertical axis are measured.
For example, trailers with turntable have the movable bogie with rotation around the vertical axis and this can also stand "twisted".
If a measurement were to be made now, the external collision would be the turned bogie with drawbar, which is much "wider" compared to the trailer just being towed.
Here may now come the objection "But you can also measure when the trailer is at some point straight", save, load etc.. -> more complicated always goes...!
Currently, 20 cm of "safety clearance" is still added around the outside.

• CP uses AD for refueling, repair and parking #351, #433, #494 & #519

AD drives refueling and repair if requested by CP, but settings of CP have priority.
Attention: harvesters are also sent for repair and refueling incl. the current attachments!
In the "Pickup / Delivery" mode with CP field work, the vehicle combination is unloaded at the end of work before parking, if "Park at end" is activated in AD.
AD is only activated in sensible modes, if wrong mode is selected -> notification.
Example: Driving is not useful for e.g. seed drills, but can be used for "ready message".

• Improvement in the locking of trailer axes regardid reverse driving

Neues:

• when the editor mode is active, the entire route network is displayed in the helper menu
• AutoDrive and CoursePlay operate together again and the CP button is active if CP is present as a mod.

Please note that the activated CP button is only evaluated when AD arrives at a destination:

• if AD was not started from CP, CP is started with the first point of the CP course
• if AD was started from CP, then on return at the first AD destination CP is started with the point of the CP course where it left off

The CP button is deactivated when "manually" interacting into the entire sequence:

• change of the first AD target
• send refueling, repair or parking via button combo or HUD
• automatic refueling, repairing or parking is OK (will be integrated into the process by AD)
  or the player deactivates it himself.

These activities are effective even if AD is not active and a running CP job is also stopped by this.
If the AD mode is changed, it has no effect as long as the first target is not changed.

Hints:

• if a seed drill is started without fertilizer, CP immediately reports it as empty. Here the fertilizer function must be deactivated in CP.
• it is advisable to set the activation of the CP-HUD with right mouse button to another key or to deactivate it
